That looks amazing! It looks like a win-win situation!

I’m adding more to my post. Again, this is so simple.
Specifically, it is when I am fretting the A string and strumming it along with the open E String with eighth notes. I can play both strings, but sometimes it seems like it’s a little heavy on the E String… Almost like it is stuck.

I am adding to my post. It seems like when I strum a little more softly, the two strings blend together better than if I strum more firmly. Perhaps it has something to do with pick position?

Powerful message! I am all about honesty, authenticity and transparency for myself! I don’t have time for all the other craziness!
Is that an original song?

Thank you for sharing! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your music, and it was incredible and inspirational! You mentioned that you’ve been in TAC FOR TWO YEARS NOW. THAT IS AWESOME!
BRAVO! I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE SONGS WHEN YOU HAVE TIME TO POST THEM! 🎶🙏🎸

Wow! Super cool 😎! Beautiful song 🎶, harmonies and guitar 🎸 with the vocals! I am curious… How long have you been in TAC? I am just getting back into guitar, after decades of not playing with a limited number of cords and one or two picking patterns. I know we’re all different, but I would love to know. I absolutely love singing, and have felt held back by my inability to accompany myself.:-) thanks for sharing!

Thank you Mike for your response. I appreciate you taking the time to understand the situation better.<div>
</div><div>I have decided to follow how everything is presented by Tony as is. I have a greater understanding of why it was all down beats.</div><div>
</div><div>I understand it has a lot to do with timing and is not about tempo. I got those two mixed up. I just wanted to make sure that I was practicing proper form… So I would not have to “unlearn“ something I could be potentially practicing improperly.</div><div>
</div><div>Again, thank you so much! I have not been very involved with the forums yet, and was able to print out the journal very recently. however, I do look forward to getting more involved and love the idea of being part of this amazing community!</div><div>

Thank you 🙏 for your responses to my questions. I truly appreciate your clear and concise way of explaining the difference between timing and tempo.
Your words paint a picture that helps me to understand.

Once again, thank you so much for your clear feedback. I have allowed myself to absorb exactly what you said, and it makes complete sense!<div>
</div><div>Although I understand about timing, I have not always “practiced it “!</div> -
Maybe I’m reading too much into this. I will trust that. They are meant to be quarter notes and all down beats. I know that he shows other techniques as well. It would probably make it very difficult to do with alternate picking.<div>
</div><div>Thanks again!</div> -
Thank you for your “timely” reply! 🙏🎶😆. I totally understand what you are saying. And although I didn’t word my question in a way that indicated I understand anything about Music timing, I do. Been singing for decades, and no quite a bit about music theory, etc.
That being said, I want to make sure that I apply the same principles to guitar playing.
I understand the picking pattern may be related to the timing and whether there are eighth notes. I guess I was just thinking that we will be working on increasing speed/tempo.
It seems that the other scales we learned involved alternate picking with the upbeat.
I am wondering if, in this case, it is all meant to be quarter notes, regardless of the tempo?
I certainly do not know it all, and appreciate your feedback and your thoughts!
